 + -1 morecommunication with the provider was clear, constant and he was able to meet our short time line. Provider was early, went out of his way to explain everything to us, and even helped reset our garage door openers to provide us with some peace of mind and did not charge us for it. This is the first time that we have used this provider, and will use him in the future and will recommend him to other people.
Description of Work: Provider re keyed and replace tumblers on 2 doors and made us 5 keys for all of the doors. Provider was in constant communication and was able to get us scheduled in a short period of time and was also early,

 + 0 moreTom arrived same day. Called when he was on his way. Did more than originally specified. Barely charged more for the extras. Was fast and efficient and knowledgeable. Also has a good sense of humor and showed me a picture of his 3 Pomeranians. What's not to like? I highly recommend Custom Lock & Safe.
Description of Work: Rekeyed the garage interior door deadbolt to match our front door. Changed the knob out on the garage door. Changed the knob out on an interior bathroom door. Adjusted the tension / tightness on 2 or 3 interior knobs that were over-tightened by the door installer. Improved the door knob action on the front door by making an adjustment. Swapped another knob out because of a manufacturer defect that had a sharp scratch. Above and beyond.
